A general and versatile synthetic strategy for producing practical quantities of a wide range of phenyl-groupterminated hetero- and homotelechelic semicrystalline polyethenes and amorphous atactic and semicrystalline isotactic poly(α-olefins) is reported
This paper reports the powder X-ray diffraction patterns, argon isotherms at 87 K, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas, pore size distributions, pore volumes, skeletal densities, and thermal gravimetric analyses for three National Institute of Standards
Molecular shape can provide a basis for chromatographic separations that is distinct from other interaction mechanisms often considered in liquid chromatography. Molecular shape recognition, or shape selectivity, is most evident for the separation of

In this study, imidazolium-based polymerizable ionic liquids (Poly-ILs) are used to prepare novel polyionic biocomposites through Natural Fiber Welding. Two new Poly-ILs containing the 1-alkyl-3-vinylimidazolium cation and an alkylphosphonate anion were
Polymer nanocomposites containing self-assembled cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are ideal for advanced applications requiring both strength and toughness, as their helicoidal structure deflects crack propagation and the polymer matrix dissipates impact

The formation and aggregation of metal carboxylates (metal-soaps) can degrade the appearance and integrity of oil paints and frequently poses a challenge to the conservation of painted works of art. Efforts to understand the root cause of metal-soap
A variety of OH containing molecules in their different modes of adsorption onto the rutile TiO2(110) are studied by means of density functional theory. A special focus is given to ethanol, ethylene glycol and glycerol. The different species were analyzed

Intermetallic metal hydrides are critical materials for hydrogen storage applications, however, metal hydrides with greater storage capacities are still needed. Within metal hydrides, the volumetric storage capacities are limited by the number of hydrogen
Sound speed data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for binary mixtures of difluoromethane (R-32) with 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf) or trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)). The sound speed is reported at two

Bromination of diamond surfaces has not been explored and can potentially open new avenues for increased chemical reactivity. Aerobically oxidized high-pressure high-temperature nanoscale diamond (ND) is a widely used host for the nitrogen vacancy centers
Albatross (Family Diomedeidae) are long-lived seabirds that inhabit most of the world's oceans coming ashore only to breed. Most of the species are listed as at least vulnerable by the IUCN and have been tracked during breeding and non-breeding seasons

There is considerable need for robust, accessible, and non-destructive Fe redox analysis methods for silicate-based minerals and glasses. A popular method assigns the distribution of Fe2+ and Fe3+ atoms using pre-edge features in the Fe K-edge X-ray
Dynamic vapor microextraction (DVME) is a vapor preconcentration method that employs a capillary trap coated with an adsorbent, followed by solvent elution to recover the sample. DVME has been developed for applications in the laboratory, including highly
